Re: Printing issue
I dont think that you can convert pdf to anything else using fop. Idont think this is the right place for our requirement. I found an alternative. Use command line pdf printing tools which are commercially available. That is the best alternative that I find. Thanks And Regards, Muralidhar Yaragalla.

Re: Printing issue
Hi, almost the code you wrote is a normal code to print docs in java. but
the problem is all doc flavaours are not supporetd by all the printers. My
printer supports only few. I am not sure about PCL flavour also. Any way
will try and see.
Thanks And Regards,
Muralidhar Yaragalla.

Re: Printing issue
Muralidhar,
I am also getting same king of problem. I have already existing pdf
file. I want to print the pdf file without user interaction. I have
goggled
and got some information.
InputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(
new FileInputStream("c:\\test.pdf"));
// Here we need to convert pdf to pcl using fop
byte[] data = null; /* the fop output */;
DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.BYTE_ARRAY.PCL;
PrintService service =
PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
DocFlavor[] flavors = service.getSupportedDocFlavors();
// Create the print job
DocPrintJob job = service.createPrintJob();
Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(data, flavor, null);
// Print it
job.print(doc, null);
Murali , The above code may gives you some idea to print pdf , but we
have to know how to convert PDF file to PCL using FOP.

Re: Printing issue
I think cups is to generate pdf not to print pdf files. It basically installs printer and when the other sort of docs sent to this printer it generates pdf(called printing to pdf).

Re: Printing issue
Hi Muralidhar,
we do the same, but the best way I found is to use FOP to create
postscript and send this directly to PS-enabled printers.
This works fairly well, but leaves most Inkjet-Printer aside as they
usually cannot interpret postscript.
Regards,
Alex
Here is some sample code:
DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.POSTSCRIPT;
PrintRequestAttributeSet attributes = new
HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
attributes.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);
PrintService[] services =
PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(flavor, attributes);
PrintService defaultService =
PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
// You do not have to use this dialog
// Just select the PrintService via getName() and manuelly modify
your PrintRequestAttributeSet
PrintService service = ServiceUI.printDialog(null, 200,
200, services, defaultService, flavor, attributes);
if (service != null) {
StringBuffer info = new StringBuffer();
info.append(service.getName()).append(": ");
for(Attribute attribute : attributes.toArray()) {
System.out.println("attribute: " + attribute);
if (attribute instanceof MediaTray) {
MediaTray tray = (MediaTray) attribute;
info.append(tray).append(" (").append(tray.getValue()).append(")");
}
}
File psFile = TemporaryFile.create("ps");
log.info("creating postscript file at: " +
psFile.getAbsolutePath());
// This is just a helper tool I wrote for FOP using MIME-TYPE
postscript
// replace this with your FOP transformation
FOPTransformer.getInstance().createPostscript(psFile,
xml, xsl);
final InputStream is = new FileInputStream(psFile);
SimpleDoc doc = new SimpleDoc(is, flavor, null);
DocPrintJob job = service.createPrintJob();
job.addPrintJobListener(new PrintJobAdapter() {
public void
printDataTransferCompleted(PrintJobEvent pje) {
log.info("print-job transfer completed");
printJobEnded();
}
public void printJobNoMoreEvents(PrintJobEvent
pje) {
log.info("print-job no more events");
printJobEnded();
}
public void printJobCompleted(PrintJobEvent pje) {
log.info("print-job completed");

Re: Printing issue
Hi I have tried with the "-print" command of fop. It says "Content not allowed as input file" . Even i had gone through your embeded example it also shows that the input file should be of extension *.fo . I have googled a lot on printing pdf. There are so many threads in the forums on the same. None had a solution. After so much of effort in googling then I just came to try with fop as it generates pdf. But I think this does not do what I want. So just thinking what could be done. There are some command line pdf printing tools available commercially. And also some java api. But I dont find any open source or some sort of free tool for this. I am specifically looking for some tool which does not require any user intervention. It should not show any popup or dialouge boxes. It should happen silently in the background. Thanks And Regards, Muralidhar Yaragalla.

Re: Printing issue
Ya I think we cannot print the pdf documents with fop. It is only possible if you are generating pdf using fop. It takes the input file (which cannot be pdf) and renders that into various paginated output file but the input file will be processed and will be sent to the printer not the generated output. If I am wrong please correct me. If there is any way that i can print already existing pdf kindly tell me. Thanks And Regards, Muralidhar Yaragalla.

Re: Printing issue
I completly agree with the following. "FOP has PDF generation capabilities but FOP cannot print PDF files (you need a different tool for that). However, if it's only about printing the generated document (I say document here, not PDF, because PDF is just one possible output format of FOP)" But I also have to print the document after generating. For Example I had generated a PDF paged document and I also need to print it without user intervention. I am looking at the example given by you. will get back if any problem.
